What percent American Indian do you have to be to claim American Indian reference college applications and things like that?

According to The Federal Indian Laws (c.1945) one drop of blood makes you an American Indian. According to some tribes, you need 1/8th "blood quantum" to claim your heritage. Some tribes have reverted to its origins, in that your culture determines any of these claims; IE: If you look like an indian, talk like an indian, but think like a white man - you are white.

How was the problem between Native Americans and settlers resolved?

Generally speaking Courts and Society said that you can kill Indians, charge to kill Indians (for fun) and Indians cannot kill you (it is unlawful for an Indian to kill a white man). These same institutions also said: You can move onto the land owned by Indians, and as long a you make claim to it, you become the owners of the land and Indian law no longer applies to that parcel of land (IE: Native law that you can kill a thief cannot be implemented). The end result of this is: American's could move onto Native American lands, kill Indians, claim the Indian is the aggressor and call for the government to wipe out the tribe - and that is resolution.
